Description

We running RC in our internal network with sync to Windows LDAP.
Settings when import is:
**User Data Field Map** {"displayName":"name", "mail":"email", "telephoneNumber":"customFields.tel"}

But cannot find any setting for disallow changing custom filelds. User is able to edit custom fields.
